Rani Mukerji has been cast to play the part of Suhana Khan's mother, and it's a role which acts as a catalyst for the entire action-thriller in the film,' a source told PinkVilla.
'It was a no-brainer for Rani to say yes to Shah Rukh Khan and Siddharth Anand's offer for King. She heard the part, and instantly agreed to on board the film. Rani's track is the heart of King, leading to the emotional depth,' added the source.
The Siddharth Anand directorial will reportedly go on floors on May 20 with its Mumbai schedule. In the movie, SRK will portray the character of an assassin and will take against the character of Abhishek Bachchan.

Akshay Kumar Defends Doing 4 Films A Year: 'If I'm Getting Work, I'm Doing It'
Last Updated: Akshay Kumar addressed criticism of his multiple films each year, stating he enjoys diverse roles and sees no reason to stop. He emphasised his passion for work. While most actors space out their releases over the years, Akshay Kumar continues to chart his own course, starring in multiple films annually. Naturally, this hustle has drawn both admiration and criticism, especially from those who feel he's become too visible on screen. But Akshay is unbothered. In a recent interview with Pinkvilla, the actor responded to the backlash with his usual straightforward honesty. 'I like it. I enjoy playing different characters—and why not? Some people complain about me doing four films a year, but I don't see the reason why I shouldn't. If I'm getting work, I'm doing it. Some movies work, and some don't. A person has to work and go to the office every day; he can't just sit at home and say, 'Ab main thoda ruk jaata hoon.' I want to work. Because I do 4 films, I want to play different characters, and it gives me a lot of happiness." For Akshay, it's not just about staying busy—it's about creative satisfaction. He sees every new role as an opportunity to explore something fresh and step into uncharted stories. 'I want to get into and try and play those characters, to get to work with so many directors and tell stories that haven't been told. I'm very happy I got to tell the story of C. Sankaran Nair. Before that, there were Sky Force, Sarfira, and many more films. I always try to get as close as possible." Clearly, the actor has no plans of slowing down anytime soon. Most recently, Akshay Kumar appeared in the comedy-thriller Housefull 5, which boasted a star-studded ensemble cast including Abhishek Bachchan, Riteish Deshmukh, Sanjay Dutt, Fardeen Khan, Jacqueline Fernandez, Nargis Fakhri, Chitrangada Singh, Sonam Bajwa, Shreyas Talpade, Nana Patekar, Jackie Shroff, Dino Morea, Soundarya Sharma, Chunky Pandey, Nikitin Dheer, and Johnny Lever, among others. Meanwhile, Akshay Kumar's much-talked-about upcoming film Welcome To The Jungle has hit a rough patch. According to reports, the film's shoot has been put on hold due to serious money troubles. The movie, which began filming in December 2023, hasn't seen much progress in the last 9 to 10 months. The last time the team shot anything was back in August 2023 and since then, it's been a long pause. What's worse, a large part of the film is still left to shoot. A report by Pinkvilla claims that the cast, including the big stars, haven't been paid yet. Their payments are pending, and that's made the situation even more uncertain.

Akanksha Bhandari drops her most experimental track yet
Akanksha Bhandari, singer-songwriter, has released her latest single Promise , a bold and feminine Punjabi pop ballad, very distinct from her previous releases. With this powerful new single, she steps into an emotionally charged space, channeling the voice of a woman who loves fiercely, wholly, and without fear. With a vibrant yet soulful sonic backdrop produced by Kimeraa, the song captures the raw vulnerability of a girl deeply in love—where love is not just a desire but a lifeline. Her voice soars as she confesses her heart's deepest longing: a lifetime of unwavering love, asking her lover to stay true to the promises he once made. Sharing her thoughts on this release, Akanksha said, ''Promise' is one of my most experimental tracks so far. It blends a dark, moody soundscape with romantic, heartfelt lyrics—a combination that felt unusual but exciting to explore. I'm always looking to push my musical boundaries, and with this song, I wanted to showcase a different side of me. The melody for this song came to me quite spontaneously, and once Kimeraa came on board for the production, he instantly understood my vision. Rehan's lyrics tied it all together so seamlessly. I really hope people resonate with this new sound and continue to support my music.'
